"Horizons, Horizons, Horizons...he'll enjoy the wide open spaces" - even more appropriate than I initially thought :)

Thanks for the update, one question, with the 1.5 and Horizons betas running in parallel, I am assuming that all content from 1.5 will be in Horizons correct?

I want to know what will happen if I disable thrusters immediately after coming out of Orbital Cruise above a planet. What else do you all want to test?

No you're not. The first thing I will be doing is approaching a non atmosphere planet at 10x to 20x the speed of light to see what happens. I reckon the emergency drop functionality is still there if you are approaching too fast. Approach slower and you'll get Orbital Cruise. Hopefully that's how it works.

Considering plenty of ships can ram at full boost into a station wall and not lose shield with full pips to sys I reckon you'll smash into the ground and just take a few rings off your shield.

Good news thanks. Sounds like server side code is the same for 1.5 & 2.0. Which makes total logical sense to me. Good work FD. I arranged to be made redundant from my job of 16 years next Wednesday. So just let me know what you want tested in Horizons.:D

Having an option to blast your ship away to be safe suggests it's vulnerable when on the ground. I want to test crushing small ships underneath a Corvette. No landing pad, no rules :)

I am more concerned my piloting skills will make every landing into a crash.

16 years planning and you miss the date one day. I am impressed (and hope work/finances are good for you in 2016).

Hi everyone,

The 1.5 beta servers will be coming offline at approximately 12:00 GMT today.

This is to allow preparation work to be carried out over the weekend to get the servers ready for Horizons beta.

Thank you all again for your continued support.
